US President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron's plan to recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September, reports Reuters.
"What he says doesn't matter," Trump told reporters at the White House.
"He's a very good guy. I like him, but that statement doesn't carry weight."
Macron said on Thursday that France intends to recognise a Palestinian state in September at the United Nations General Assembly in hopes of bringing peace to the region.
"Look, he's a different kind of a guy. He's okay. He's a team player, pretty much. But here's the good news: What he says doesn't matter. It's not going to change anything," Trump said.
